Thanks Tasmania!

If you told me one year ago that in one year I would be teaching in Tasmania, more specifcally in a little town with no more than 50 inhabitants

. I would have said " haha , nice joke!".Well...destiny leads us by different ways, and ending up in this unforgettable island was one of the best things I lived. Not only I was having the time of my life , but also I was helping other people. Waking up and see turquoise water a few meters away , arriving to the school and hear the kids shouting "Mister Science!" with huge smiles on their faces, hearing their laughs while we played football all together were experiences that I would never leave behind. I think Tasmania and her inhabitants taught me more than I did to them, living as a friendly community, helping the others and not be materialistic are things that I will always keep in my mind. Even if I don’t return to Tasmania , Tasmania and those children will always be in my heart. This “half gap year” made me grow as an individual, and I’m very grateful for this. Oh! I almost forgot, during those 6 months I met a very special girl called May , she is French and I fell in love with her. She is coming to Uruguay next month and she might stay for a couple months, we dream of going back to Australia and build our lives there.

Hello Australia!

When I got out of the airport of Canberra, a warm wind embraced me. The sky was shiny blue , birds were singing: it was a wonderful day. I was extremely enthusiastic and looking forward to start my journey. I took my luggage and went straight to the agency which I had contacted several weeks ago. It wasn’t a common tourism agency, on the contrary this unique agency called “ enjoy the help” was specialized in finding volunteer work for young people who wanted to help. The greatest thing about this was that you were doing something worthy but at the same time visiting and getting in contact with the culture and people of the country.

When I arrived to the place , a young women interviewed me. She asked me , which were my skills that I could use to help other people.
-“Well , I am very strong-willed , I know how to play soccer and I’m keen on science, in fact I have a degree on it”
-“That’s wonderful! At the moment we need a science teacher in a school. And perhaps you could also teach them soccer.” She explained.
 I never thought of being a teacher , but i actually loved the idea of interact with children and teach them different things.The assistant told me that classes started next Monday, and the school was in a little town near the beach. I had 5 days to explore and get to know this amazing country so I decided to sign in a four-day excursion to visit different iconic places.

My first day!

"Ladies and gentlemen please fasten your seatbelt as we’re starting to land, thank you…"I slowly start opening my eyes , the light is entering through my window. Take a deep breath and start realizing, the time has come. The beginning of my adventure, the start of a whole new chapter in the book of my life. I have never  been so nervous , enthusiastic and terrified in my life!
